Starstead Farm
Vendor
Starstead Farm is located in Rixeyville, VA. We produce a wide variety of foods, with a focus on fresh vegetables and an eye toward interesting and delicious cultivars. We achieve high production on small acreage by using low-till methods and permanent beds, while foregoing synthetic pesticides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers. Our vegetables and seedlings are ecologically grown, using organic methods and inputs. Our laying hens roost in mobile coops and free range on 10 acres of pasture all year and every day, from dawn ‘til dusk.

We do not use synthetic pesticides or herbicides in our vegetable production. We instead rely on floating row covers, beneficial insects, landscape fabric, hand/small tool cultivation, compost and low-till practices to keep our crops healthy.
